Wal-Mart, known for its classy image (not really), has raised the bar yet again with this cute pair of hot pink panties. On the front they read, "Who Needs Credit Cards..." and on the tush they go on to read, "When you have Santa". No, these aren't a sex shop novelty item, but get this, they are juniors panties targeting young girls!
I know that there's nothing like pussy to get a man to open up his wallet, but these suggestive little pink panties, that don't look festive despite the Santa reference, push the boundaries of taste to a place that even people running an adult web site don't ever want to visit.
After complaints from a concerned parent, Wal-Mart pulled this item off its shelves. It was thanks to reader Scarlett, who submitted her disapproval to Feministing.org, that Wal-Mart was pressured (by the negative PR) to recall this product. Jessica Valenti, Executive Editor at Femisting, writes:
There's nothing quite like telling adolescent girls that they don't need to worry about finances since they have their very own moneypot between their legs.
Oops! Not surprisingly, Fox News also covered the story.
